Night Ranger

Marvin felt a bit embarrassed.

He naturally understood where Jessica’s unhappiness came from. After all, it was clear how much she cherished Lorie, and it was clear that she wasn’t happy about Lorie having to transfer some of her Fate Power to Marvin.

Thus, Lorie’s Fate Power, which had been much weaker than her sisters’ in the first place, weakened a bit more, setting her even further away from the Legend realm.

And Marvin, by obtaining a part of the Fate Power, not only gained a lot of direct physical benefits, but even gained the possibility of obtaining Fate Sorceress abilities while the Fate Power was in effect.

Marvin had previously tried to use the Fate Power in his body before, but he never found a proper way to activate it.

He felt that this was probably because he wasn’t actually a Fate Sorceress, so it wouldn’t be too strange if he wasn’t able to properly use Fate Power.

But based on Jessica’s words, it seemed that he really should be able to use the Fate Power within him!

Thus, he looked over somewhat bashfully, ready to listen to her advice. ”How can I learn?” he asked.

Although Jessica was a bit unhappy after remembering about her sister’s situation, she knew that it would definitely be very beneficial to have another person master the Ghost Barrier before the next battle. She pressed a hand against Marvin’s forehead.

Her vigorous Fate Power surged into Marvin’s mind.

In an instant, his felt his blood begin to boil.

The portion of Fate Power hiding in the back of his mind was drawn out.

A lot of information popped into Marvin’s head, before it faded away, fusing with his instinct.

At the same time, a new option appeared on his interface:

[Ghost Barrier (Advanced)]: By using a bit of your Fate Power, you can use Ghost Barrier.

”Done,” Jessica muttered indifferently.

Marvin was stunned.

’This can be called learning?’

Fate Sorceresses really were a bunch of cheats!

Jessica had gotten the precious spell book barely two days ago and not only had she already mastered it, but she was even able to pass the spell to Marvin through their Fate Power in a matter of seconds!

Marvin looked around in the caves to find a few monsters that were possessed by the Dark Specters to give his new spell a try, and sure enough, the effect was outstanding.

Ghost Barrier was very effective against Dark Specters.

The only issue was that Marvin’s Fate Power had come from an external source.

Although the willpower bonus was permanent, the power itself was temporary. When the portion of Fate Power Lorie gave him was completely used up, he probably wouldn’t be able to use Ghost Barrier anymore.

But according to Jessica’s calculations, Lorie’s generous gift would allow Marvin to use his newfound ability without any problems for at least two months.

This made Marvin feel even more grateful to that precocious little girl.

Fate Power was very useful. Not only did he gain the ability to use Ghost Barrier, but the power also merged perfectly with his skills, Blade Techniques, and spells.

After the two of them returned to the stronghold, Marvin humbly consulted Jessica for the entire night on how best to use his Fate Power and by the end of the session, he had a decent understanding of how it worked.

This was an incredible force above all others.

Moreover, because of the Plane Laws, Fate Power could emulate all powers. Magic, Strength, Dexterity, Knowledge...

Although each Fate Sorceress’ Fate Power had a particular emphasis, the essence of their power was the same.

For example, Jessica’s Fate Power was [Power].

She could also inject her Fate Power into a Source of Fire’s Order in order to protect the city, just like Kate could, but the effect wouldn’t be as outstanding.

And Lorie’s Fate Power was [Wisdom].

Wisdom was the hardest thing to properly express, but was relatively easy to use. As long as Marvin used his Fate Power, his learning ability would greatly increase.

This was also the reason that it only took Jessica two seconds to impart the spell to him.

It wasn’t actually Jessica’s Fate Power that had made him learn the spell so quickly; it was actually the effect of Lorie’s Wisdom. Jessica’s help had only been the spark that ignited it.

If Lorie had been here, she would have been able to learn the spell with just a glance.

This was what it was like to be loved by the Plane.

They were born from the Plane Will, and their power came from Feinan. At least in this plane, they had supreme power!

...

Marvin had been rather envious of that power, so now that he temporarily had the chance to use it, he was quite pleased.

After bidding farewell to Jessica, he went back to his room and started studying the effects of his Fate Power.

Thanks to Jessica’s guidance, he had already slowly learnt how to control Fate Power. In fact, he didn’t need to control it meticulously for it to work. He only needed to infuse it into his blood and then move it based on his instincts.

To genuine Fate Sorceresses, controlling Fate Power was like breathing, something completely natural for them.

A special case like Marvin needed to practice and study to get finer control.

It was a very painful process at first. Although he could use Ghost Barrier, he found that using Fate Power to increase his strength and speed was very difficult.

He spent a whole day working hard to make the Fate Power move freely in his body.

Clearly, the fact that he could get a fair amount of competency in only a day was thanks to [Wisdom]’s effects.

Marvin felt that Lorie’s Fate Power was particularly useful for people that weren’t Fate Sorceresses.

When he was running at full strength, he could convert the Fate Power into extra speed. The power looked like a halo that would buff Marvin’s already outstanding abilities.

Marvin estimated that if he went all-out using Fate Power to increase his Dexterity attribute, he should be able to reach about 38 Dexterity!

This was a very frightening number!

From a purely physical point of view, there were almost no others in the entire Universe that could reach this number.

It seemed especially impressive that it could be reached by a Human, who were such frail creatures.

Naturally, Fate Power could also bless other attributes, and the effects could potentially be even more outstanding for them than for Dexterity.

’No wonder Jessica could tear a Black Dragon apart.’

’This stuff is practically omnipotent!’

After thoroughly understanding how to use his Fate Power, Marvin couldn’t help thinking about it in admiration, and he even started to feel a bit worried.

That power was unbelievably amazing, but it would dissipate after some time.

After all, it had come from an external source, so it wasn’t natural for him to have it.

But was there a way for him to keep that power forever?

A brazen thought appeared in Marvin’s mind!
